47° F to C: Converting 47° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 47° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 47° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 47° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
47
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (47 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 47 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
15
×
5
9
C = 15 × \frac{5}{9}
C = 15 × 9 5
C
=
15

9
=
8.333
C = 15 × \frac{5}{9} = 8.333
C = 15 × 9 5 = 8.333
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
8.333
C = 8.333
C = 8.333
So:
47° Fahrenheit = 8.333° Celsius
